I've been hearing this "DOK!" sound sometimes when I maneuver out of a parking spot. The sound comes from the driver side wheel area.
I guess it's possible the axle is bad.

I looked down there last night and I saw something that almost seemed broken?

Can anyone ID this part and tell me if it's supposed to look like this?
Both ends just seem like they should be one piece?

 

I had a big clunk sound once, first time it happened was when I put it in six gear instead of reverse. were you in gear when it happened or in neutral?

 

Can you have a look behind your driver side wheel and let me know if it looks the same?

I reached and touched, seem like some flaking peeling on both ends, so it seems like they were once one piece.

 

lower tranny mount.

I just went through this.

Weird, you saw my post.........how come you didnt put two and two together, dingis?

I have not seen your thread. Is name calling really necessary off the bat? People come here to discuss things and find solutions to their problems, not get insulted.

Thank you for linking me to your thread though, this helps me fix yet another issue in my 3G

 

Bruce banner, i am sorry for calling you a dingis, you tree goat

and in the linked threads i provided, you commented on it.
thus, you saw my torn tranny mount already!!!

 

I commented on a thread about wheel hop and my post was BEFORE you even posted your pic of your issue.

You introduced a topic into the thread after I commented in there and a people are expected to by physic to know every post after theirs that are off topic?

I don't need to call you names, you have already given yourself a one.

 

I'm sorry!!!!

I still love you Bruce.


p.s. I havent gotten laid in 2 years. forgive me


now are we going to continue to talk about our feelings, or do you want further help?

 

Justin, cut the name calling. Is this really necessary.....dingus, tree goat? Seriously?

 

Took it to a shop today, they said all mounts were ok, engine and tranny.

They said I need a new clutch.

 

^lol wut.

isn't your lower mount cracked?

 

Bruce, if you knew Justin more you'd know he meant it affectionately. In addition, he WAS trying to be helpful. More than we can say for most that don't throw weird little pet names around...


Let us know how it goes man!

 

in my defense, my car is on jack stands at the moment.
I was drinking whiskey that whole weekend.

 

Believe the dealer, not your own eyes.

I've seen the patterns on this board over the years. Right now we're going through another wave of people that won't use the search function and want to be spoon fed. Even reading the links or looking at the pictures posted seems to be too much for many people lately. Time for me to take another break until this passes.

So, are we still doing the acurazine Vegas trip in a couple months?

 

^only if the tree goats dont come.

Dude, i'll be in cali from the 30th-4th.
to bad, i'll be in socal....

 

Hit me up if you want. I'm in central/SoCal but we always have something going on from LA to San Diego.

 

I'll be in LA, specifically Cerritos.

 

Matt...I'm starting to get why you take your hiatus' (hiati, plural?)...

 

Dude..... You're going to be right over the hill from me.
Lol. I've learned when to disappear for my sake and so I don't stress the mods too much. I usually post out of boredom from work but when it starts to get stressful it defeats the purpose.

 

mount seems broken to me. ive rarely see broken manual lower trans mounts though. how you guys break them is beyond me.

 

i know how i caused mine....

 

I have the same"torn mount" but is it broken or not since he took it to the dealer and they said it was fine

 

They want to sell him a clutch.

Matt...I'm definitely starting to understand that. I just try and take it all with a grain of salt.

Justin, you LITERALLY just shifted it too quick/hard and broke it?

 

^when i had my accident, i had trouble with my insurance company.
I then took it to a trusted shop, after the 1st shop was incompetent.

my friend told me that the 1st shop bragged to him about a torn mount. Im suspecting it was this one.

since my friend was only allowed to work on the back end, he and i couldnt do anything.

a torn or worn mount coupled with my abusive driving actually did tear it all the way.

Bruce's mount actually looks intact.
if you look at my pictures, the middle space is gone. the top part is supposed to be missing.
his mount looks intact.

 

What should an unbroken one look like?

 

I'll post a picture of my new mount that i just recently replaced, Bruce.
it looks exactly like yours. the top part is missing, but middle is intact.

 

Thanks Justin, in the meantime I'll start ordering parts for the clutch.

 

i stand corrected, thanks justinspace. the lower trans mounts ive seen broken have the middle section (rubber) completely torn off. i thought your mount(op) was actually broken, my mistake. as it seems the front of the mount should have a gap.

 

Brand New Mount


I'm also sorry that I got crabby, earlier.
sometimes, i have to remember that we're all here to learn

 

Much appreciated, thank you for the pic.

 

I need to take a look at mine...
Just to be sure it's intact.
